artners Pre-Concert Dinner & Fundraiser partied "Into the Night" while raising approximately $34,000 for The Pavilion's performing arts events and educational outreach programs.
The event was held Sept. 10 in The Pavilion's House of Blues Hospitality Tent prior to the Santana concert. Guests enjoyed a social hour featuring appetizers from Crescent Moon Wine Bar and salsa lessons from Fred Astaire Dance Studio. Then guests were treated to dinner, prepared by Pappasito's Cantina, as well as special reserved seating for the concert, complimentary margaritas and beer and VIP club passes.
"The Pavilion Partners Pre-Concert Dinner and Fundraiser is one of the best fundraisers we have all year," said Christine Scully, development director for The Pavilion. "This event is truly unique because guests are able to enjoy a great party and concert all in one night. The event also is a great way to introduce our educational and performing arts programs to a new audience."
Guests opened their wallets to bid on some fabulous live auction items including a Meet and Greet with Santana and a Masters flag autographed by Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. The live auction raised approximately $18,000.
